And … wait for it … the fight was captured on video by one of the roughly 30 people who watched the first at the intersection of Nott Street and Wendell Avenue. It’s just the latest case of kids brawling and making sure the fight is immortalized on video for their pleasure — and police prosecution.

The last thing she is, is a mother. Marlon, do you see what horrible parenting creates? This is the environment and social climate you speak of. And we wonder why our kids are in trouble. They learn from us,not the police, not city Hall but us. At least the police arrested the right person. I hope they lock her up for a while and CPS removes the children from this poor excuse of a parent that is contributing to the down fall of a commnity!

Where is Marlon Anderson to blame the local police and City Hall for this incident?

THIS RIGHT HERE IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF AN IRRESPONSIBLE PARENT! Its absolutely despicable that a parent would stoop to such low social levels.

Lock this trash up along with her daughter. Make an example out of this woman. Send a message to all of the other degenerate parents out there preaching violence and other piss poor ethics to their children that these actions will no longer be tolerated.

Hopefully CPS will get involved and take the child away from this mother.

Here is a prime example of why urban schools are so out of control……….STOP BLAMING THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, it’s LOSER parents that foster a childs behavior. Stop asking our school districts to raise our kids, as ACORN is now doing at Schenectady High. Apparently ACORN says the school district isn’t doing enough to protect the kids from suicide and bullying, well ACORN how about you teach the parents of every kid that is a trouble maker how to be a better parent.

Hey back in the Depression days, there was more orginization for fighting. It was called the Golden Gloves. Put that into a stimulus plan. If these kids and guardians have this pent up aggresion, use it as a possitive than a negative. Take them away from these video games and put them into orginized sporting operations.

First off this is bad parenting and should be treated as just that. Send the mother to madatory parenting classes and anger management classes in stead of jail and make her pay for the classes! Secondly, CPS will not remove this child from the home. There are so many children in foster care in NYS and there is no room, not to mention how much it cost to have a child in foster care. CPS only removes a child when they are in danger. I think the classes and making the mother pay for them, not the tax payers, would be a good solution. Maybe if she has to spend her time and money she will think twice before urging her child to be in a fight on the street.

What a lot of people on this board do not realize is that this type of “parenting” is a lot more common than you realize. Parents today want to blame everyone but themsleves for raising these little monsters. The schools, the police, you name it…. They raise children with no sense of shame, modesty, or purpose and then want to blame everyone else for their laziness and incompetence when their children become sociopaths. Sexting, texting, and uploading videos onto the internet of such morally lacking behavior IS NOT “just kids being kids” It is a synmptom of POOR PARENTING.

It is time that we got tougher on parents who refuse to accept the responsibility for raising children that THEY brought into this world. Raising children who are are raised with goals like getting educated, respecting the rights of others, becoming competent members of our society is the DUTY of every parent.

Start throwing some parents in jail for this BS and maybe, just maybe these animals like Benjamin might get the mesage. At least maybe their children may see the consequences of their own negligent parents actions and learn that maybe, when they grow up, that it is not right….hmmm… teaching them life lessons… what a concept…
